In 1643, Frenchman Poncet de Brétigny bought the rock overlooking the island of Cayenne from the Galibi Indians and named it Cépérou Hill, after a Galibi Indian chief. The man fortified the rock and built a village, which later became the colony's main town. Then the Frenchman was killed by the Indians, and the name Cépérou fell into oblivion. The fort, however, continued to be a unifying element in the lives of the Cayennais, with its resounding siren punctuating the hours and howling for ten days when the town burned down in 1888.

L'accès au site est gratuit, il faut juste y grimper.
La vue depuis ce site est magnifique avec Cayenne et son centre ville d'un côté et l'océan de l'autre.
Il est juste dommage que les lieux soient salis par des personnes peu attentives.
